About this book
“I can’t think of better guides for this journey than St. Bonaventure and his interpreter, Fr. Rick Martignetti.” — Fr. Murray Bodo, OFM
St. Bonaventure’s Tree of Life (Lignum Vitae) pictures the life, death and glorification of Jesus as a tree whose branches bear twelve fruits. Fr. Rick Martignetti, OFM, who has studied, prayed and lived with Bonaventure’s thought for many years, walks through it branch by branch.
Each short reflection pairs a passage of the Tree of Life, newly translated with Fr. Zachary Hayes, OFM, with a meditation for today, so that Bonaventure’s words become stepping stones for our own journey into God.
A rich theological and practical primer of Franciscan spirituality, written by two friars, one of the thirteenth century and one of the twenty-first, with original artwork by Amelio Lauteri.
